This assumes the scoldee wants to be accepted or lauded by the scolding group.

TANNING: This is kunzite, a semi-precious stone that’s mined near San Diego. Do you know who told me what kunzite was? Robert Oppenheimer who was, as they say, the Father of the Atom Bomb. One day Max and I were in the St. Germain de Pres where all those cafes are, and it was a lovely May day, and we were on the terrace of the Café Fior, and Robert Oppenheimer was sitting at the next café. I had always had a great interest in this man and I said to Max, “I don’t know what’s going to happen, but I have to leave here and go over and look at that man.” So Max came with me and we went over and you know, when it’s a nice day they put more and more tables out, so he was practically out on the street, right there on the sidewalk with his wife, and I introduced myself and then I said, “This is my husband, Max Ernst,” and he jumped up and he said, “I’ve just seen two wonderful paintings of yours in the window of a gallery down the street,” and he invited us to sit down, and I had this ring on, and we talked about various different things, and he said, “What is that ring you have?” and I said, “Oh I don’t know, someone gave it to me, I guess it’s just junk,” and he said, “That isn’t junk. That’s a kunzite. I know because when I was a little boy I had a hobby, and that was minerals, so I can tell you that that’s what it is.” And I’ve always loved this ring since then, because Robert Oppenheimer told me what it was. I was terribly moved by just sitting with that man, really I was… Did you know that if you leave a piece of glass in the desert in Arizona it turns amethyst-colored?

In a 1975 interview, Dorothea Tanning tells Andy Warhol about her encounter with Robert Oppenheimer.

What's do the first three letters in fundamentalist spell?

That's right! FUN!

BREAKING: Junk food still bad for you.

Can the insane Christian fundamentalists please figure out what they want from women?

They should also make the game more hockey-like put up boards around the court and allow checking.

My new tooth is 3D printing right now.

everyone with real American manliness and a basic knowledge of military history knows that serious war efforts have never been derailed by such trifling matters as "communicable diseases"

Vollmann?

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

I have half a mind to apply accept the job and a week later demand to be put on the x files.

I'm going to fix this recipe:

10x better I promise.

Some cultures.

As someone had been in a touring band while working in a bookstore while spinning records weekly at a bar I concur that this is bullshit. This is made up by someone didn't like being out of the house who also wanted a convenient excuse for forgetting peoples names.

British people often ask me what life is like in Germany. It's like this:

ET passed out in the creek, looking sickly.

That Friday feeling

Why the humans will win.

There is always one.

Stick a fish in a tattoo gun
See what color ink comes out

I prefer maggot capitalism.

If you asked anyone who had a clear view what would happen if the US bombed Iran what is now happening would be the answer.

Bonus: we've poisoned the diplomatic well for a generation for no reason what so ever.

The official transition from a life long Met fan to a Yankee fan is now underway. Like my friend @CGasparino once wrote "Go Woke, Go Broke!" The Mamdani Mets are too WOKE for me! See ya at the Stadium soon fans!

Absolutely dying at right-wing radio host Sid Rosenberg getting so angry that Mr. and Mrs. Met hugged @mayor.nyc.gov that he started calling them antisemites and became a Yankees fan.

A bagel shaped like a penis

Folks, I had a bagel making failure. From the get I wasn't paying close attention to the recipe. I let it rise for too long. I didn't pinch it hard enough. And the glaze? Spotty. I apologize for exposing you to my insufficiency. I will be more circumspect in the future.
